No that’s rediculous
Matthew Williams
I'm quite certain there is a correlation to a degree. I reckon that the reason why one likes the music he likes is the best indicator though, rather than just taking into account differing genres (though I imagine one listening to Wagner is more likely possess superior intelligence than one listening to 50 Cent). Does he like the song because he heard it on a radio 20 times and feels a sense of familiarity (there are studies which conclude that one is more likely to enjoy music he's familiar with) or because he feels stimulated by it on a more intellectual level?

I used to be constrained to rock and metal as an edgy teen, but as I hit my early 20's, I widened my pallet to range from 1930's jazz to meme eurobeat. Whichever song gives me an earbug usually ends up saved. Classical evokes a sense of pride in my emotional center as it really is a feat of team effort and coordination.
James Rivera
There is probably a correlation. I'd like to think is correlated with how many genres of music you like as opposed to which specific ones.
Im pretty sure there also is a correlation between how hipster your music taste is and how intelligent you are too.

It also depends on what kind of intelligence. Are you going to listen, dance, or,.. you know,..

Soo, you're smart?
Gabriel Sanchez
yes
Henry Gray
People who say thei're not smart, is sometimes smarter than they realise. Some say that dumb people don't realize.

Hudson Anderson
Good for you :-) I just wondered if you can put it up like that. I think there is a wide variety of music across genres that has a complexity worthy "of the intelligent"

The absolute state of brainlets
Cooper Collins
I didn't say I can't. Although you're right, I really can't appreciate nigger ghetto music. Don't see how that makes me a brainlet. But by all means, feel free to post an example of a good poetry from 50 cent. I'm open to reconsider my stance.
Lincoln Cooper
>I liek classical
Sure, bro. What do you like?
>Hans Zimmer, other movie composer, the epik Blizzard game soundtrack, the epik Bethesda game soundtrack, any composer from my top 100 Classical Music album
And that's how you spot a pseudo-intellectual based purely on their musical tastes.

Dunno senpai, but I like a lot of different kinds of music. From black metal to cute anime girl music. I also play "classical" music-by that I mean baroque era music. I also notice a lot of my peers that do well play an instrument on the side as well.
One thing I notice is a lot pseuds like classical music, but don't even know how to play/read music. These people are just walking Dunning-Krugers.
Jace Hall
>I didn't say I can't.
Yes, you did. Of course you don't realize that you can't; that's part and parcel of being a brainlet.
So you can at least become a trained brainlet, here's a ~10 minute spoonfeed on how to listen to nigger music.

As for 50 cent, I recommend his album "Power of the Dollar".

This actually.
Really, listening to music is a visceral experience.
Trying to link intelligence to music preference is a bit like trying to link intelligence to favorite sexual position..
Adam Morales
I think the internet and instant access to any and all music in existence has really changed things. In the 1980s and 1990s I didn't have access to anything like the internet. Everything was either word of mouth or radio and there wasn't much selection on the radio and even less by word of mouth. Record stores only had what was on the radio in my area.
Now I listen to shit that no one has ever heard of where I live and it wouldn't exist without the internet. Also "fads" are a thing of the past now with how persistent stuff is online. A new genre just doesn't die out like it once did from generation to generation. Now there's dedicated artists in all known genre still churning out that genre.
Zachary Ortiz
You sounds like a douche bag fyi
James Butler
Beyond liking popular trash on mainstream radio and actually having your own taste -- no. Music is more to do with exposure. Perhaps musical education too, one who is educated would be more interested in music that clearly reveals and shows the content of their education. Meaning less or no vocals, no popular stuff (as it is always simplistic), and no obscure stuff that isn't quite 'music' by said education. Probably less electronic stuff too, less instruments but greater instrument-complexity.
Joshua Robinson
Yeah.
Brainlets tend to have extremely narrow tastes such as only listening to one genre or only a few artists while intelligent people can find enjoyment listening to anything.
Ayden Morris
>From black metal to cute anime girl music.
This pretty much.
Jaxson Edwards
nah I'm not smart, I just appreciate classical as an art form. Usually, I think it's reserved for pretentious pseuds, but I like to put up Wagner in the background as I'm doing something
